Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein:

We are former clerks to Judge Kavanaugh. In early July, we joined letters sent to this committee
describing our positive experiences with the Judge as a boss and mentor on the D.C. Circuit. Over
the weekend, the committee publicized quotations from those letters, creating the impression that
they were responsive to the serious allegations raised in the last several weeks. We write to clarify
that, like many Americans, we have been deeply troubled by those allegations and the events
surrounding them and were encouraged by the initiation of a formal FBI investigation, which we
believe is warranted. We hope, for the good of everyone involved, that this investigation will be
independent and thorough.

Sincerely,

Will Dreher, Bridget Fahey, and Rakim Brooks
